The Fidelity Bank Failure.
JUDGE sAGE's DECREE AND THE NATIONAL BANKIN

-
JUDGE sAGEs DECREE AND THE NATIONAL BANKING
SYSTEM.
The decree entered by Judge Sage in the case of
w. L. Trenholm, the u. s. Controller OF Currency.
against the Fidelity National Bank, which takes
from the bank its charter, &C., for violation OF the
law, establishes the fact that the failure OF the
bank did not occur under the operation OF the
national banking laws, but was the result OF vio-
lat1ons or these laws That bank should fail
under such circumstances does not reflect upon
or detract from, the national banking system
This was point Controller Trenholm was anxious
to make to show the public that their confidence
in the system was not misplaced. The decree
also gives the foundation for civil suits to be
brought by the receiver against the directors
and others responsible for the operations OF the
bank, who may in this way be made individually
responsible for the debts Of the failing bank The
next step will be for the receiver to bring these
civil suits. The president OF the bank and some
others are reported to he very rich, and to estab-
lsh their private responsibility win probably
greatly relieve the creditors and depoSitOrs of the
bank. TO prosecute under this law is quite an
unusual thing, and the action OF the Controller Of
Currency In this matter demonstrates the ability
OF the Government 70 deal with such cases

THE NATIONAL SAFE DEPOSIT COMPANY.
c. j. NJ. Gwynn, OF Baltimore, and n. Wilson, of
this city, to-day, for the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Co., filed bill against the National
Safe Deposit Co.; for an Injunction to prevent the
cutting, breaking or injury OF the cable wires OF
complainant under the sidewalk in front Of the
premises at the northeast corner OF 18th street
and New York avenue The complainant states
that under permit granted In 1884 trench was
opened and wires laid upon the side of lot 8, so.
222, which is owned by defendant. and the latter
claiming the right to construct vault on
Fubruary last, obtained permit for the same.
The complainant states that the wires were laid
to defendant II 1t had any force must be construed
as subject to the prior rights and easements ac-
Quired by complainant by the actual laying OF the
cable wires. That 1t was so understood by the
authorities OF the District, the complainant AYERS
is shown by the fact that notice was sent to the
complainant. The complainant claims that the
permit TO the defendant to construct vault is
invalid it does not its face express the right
privilege 1t processes to CONFER that 1t does not
limit the distance to which the vault might be
extended, and it does not determine whether the
street or avenue is business street Or avenue,
The complainant also claims that the permit is
not in the proper name Of defendant, and charges
that defendant Is constructing the vault, and
having encountered the wires OF complainant has
notified plaintiff to remove them, and plaintiff is
apprehensive that the defendant will remove
endeavOred to avoid controversy, and has been,
and is willing to carry the wires above the crown
OF the arch, although such change Will entail ex-
pense, but the defendant has refused to make any
arrangement, or to suggest any plan by which the
rights OF both parties may be adjusted.
